'lO ALL WHOM I'l MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, JOHNSON SMITH, of Kansas, in the count-y of Edgar, and in the State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Churn-Dashcrs; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear,A and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked'therfeon.

In the annexed drawings, making part of this specification, A represents a dasher-Shaft, which is made four-sided, and placed in n vevrtical position' in the churn, having a hearing in its bottom and one in the'cover or lid.' B represent a series of pins, which pass through the shaft A, all at right angles to the shaft, and half of them parallel and half at right angles-ite each other. C C represent a serios of slats, which are secured to the pins near their outer ends in vthe manner represented. The strips run diagonally across the shaft, and in order to he conincdwith their sides flat to the arms or pins, they are twisted or made slightly spiral in form. The upper series of. slats C C arevset at :1 reversed angle from those below, and marked C', so that when the,l dasher-sta or shaft isurevolved,-thc'lewer series ofs'lats will throw the milk or cream in one direction, while the upper ones will throw it in aireverse direction, thus causing great agitation. and readily breaking the glob# ules, so as to release thc-small particles ot' butter. A

The shaft B, witheighthorizontal arms I3', foli'hich are connected the diagonal slats C C', in such a. manner that their innerends. nearly mcctat the centre of the shaft, sethat the cream may he caught hy the slot C, and carricdto and under the slut C', as and for the purposes specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 30th day of May, 1867.

JOHNSON SMITH.
